That's not true.

As said both by Jaedong and Flash, the MSL finals would have been different if Flash won the OSL.

It would be true if MSL finals were before OSL finals (since a single game would've decided getting two 3-0).

It's been discussed before.
Superarc tends to agree with you but it's a load of crap. Flash came close, you can't deny it.

Do you really believe that if Flash had not moved out his units in game 3 that way and sealed the game, he would have played so much worse vs jaedong? He would have used the same strategies and Jaedong would have too. The results would most likely be the same.

3-0 in one and 2-0 into loss in another is very close.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Something tells me Jaedong won't lose this round.

This will be his last hurrah. Before Blizzard shuts down programing forever or JD will lose 5 games in a row for the first time and then call it quits.

kal is 3-1? and just qualified for the MSL? I'd say he's performing well.

Common, saying that Flash was close to winning 3-0 3-0 is like saying that Best was close to beating Julyzerg in that OSL finals. I mean if he would have scouted that all-in in the first game the entire series would have been different. Flash almost won both leagues which is imba gosu ofc. But saying that he almost won both league 3-0 3-0 is... childish? Even if he didn't fall into that trap in game 3, how can you be sure he would have won?

I think he would, but what I think about it doesn't matter.

If you get 3-0 in one SL and 2-0 in another you're as close to 3-0 3-0 as you can get. I don't understand why people argue about this. How can you get closer?

Childish or not.
Hey I wish flash would have 3-0'd both leagues, he was close of doing so.
And then get a reply: No he was never close.
just doesn't add up.

fact is, Flash made both finals and he was close to 3-0ing both.
but he didn't.

That's not true. He was 14CCed again and this time couldn't catch up. It gets really tough against lesser players once they start gambling with risky builds because that's the only way they can beat you. Flash played a great ace match, but it wasn't enough.

Assuming you're waaaaay better than your opponent, cathing up to 14cc isn't that bad.

That might be true, but four months ago Flash would have still crushed Ruby.

Terrans like I said improved their TvT a lot, like zergs did when JD was raping everyone left and right.

It is, if the opponent plays a great game (all credit to Ruby).

This. Agreed, Ruby played an incredible game. It was like as if another player was playing instead, such was the contrast between his performance in the game as compared to the previous set against FlaSh.

At first I thought you were trolling, but apparently you're ready to herald the downfall of Flash, which is just silly.

This is the state of BW today, last summer and fall, Jaedong looked unstoppable, but only for a season or two. This winter and spring, it's been Flash's turn, but reasonably expecting him to continue putting up the results he put up is a little insane. This isn't Flash getting any worse, or Jaedong getting any worse, and it's not necessarily anyone else getting that much better.

BW is a battle of mind games just as much as it's a battle of apm and mechanics. In BW today, eventually you're going to get figured out to a degree.

I told the Flash-bonjwa crowd to calm down, and the same is true with the ridiculous "Flash-slumping?!?" idea that's come out recently. TL can have frightening mood-swings sometimes.

Yeah Flash has hit a rut since beating Jaedong -- reminds me of Jaedong after winning most of his titles, where he hit a mini-loss streak. I think they need to get in the right mentality after they do something that makes them too content in their abilities.

It's not a frightening mood swing imo. The guy has almost won every single game he has played for months ofc people are going to go into wtf-mode when he loses repetedly in proleague. Even if it is completely natural for BW, it is huge. The coming weeks will be important: can he brake this mini-slump?

Flash is most definitely having the worst period since his era of dominance began, with all these ace losses + the loss vs Effort. But there's no need to worry yet, there's not a doubt in my mind that he's still the best player in the world. It's just a little sad that he couldn't keep up the super-mega-ultra-hyper epic domination.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.
